Benjamin Valdez went on to represent Navy at the Jackson T. Stephens Cup this past Monday and Tuesday at the Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, Texas. Valdez was one of seven golfers who received a special invitation to play in the tournament, along with counterparts from Service Academies Army and Air Force and HBCU's Howard and Prairie View A&M. Valdez finished 38th in the standings with a 5-over par 221 (77-69-65).
• The last time Navy played in the Georgetown Intercollegiate was in 2021 when then-senior Nicholas Klock (69-69-62=200) shot a 9-under par 62 in the final round to earn individual medalist honors and lead the Mids to a runnerup finish (292-280-281=853).
Benjamin Valdez is the only player on Navy's roster who competed in that tournament.
